Wanted: Input from general aviation pilots

A researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has focused her thesis project on general aviation trends and is asking for help from general aviation pilots.

The goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of the factors that drive general aviation activity in the United States, which includes identifying any challenges facing the growth of general aviation and its role in the greater aviation community as well was identifying what may promote activity in the future, says Kamala Shetty.

She is collecting the experiences and opinions of pilots that are active or have been active in general aviation through an online survey that takes around 15 minutes to complete.
